Has anyone used the hoists at U-Wrench? How is it there? Do they have a hoist that lifts by your wheels?
I need to rent a hoist/uni-spotter to pull my dented frame rails out of their misery. I don't get why Nissan made the frame rails out of flimsy sheet metal. I was content with their condition, until yesterday. I set the car down on a jackstand under the frame rail. Me being dumb, I put it where the front rail ends. and where the mid rail starts. So it f'd the rail even more :banghead: After I get it all straightened back out, i'm gusseting the entire rail. Everyone tells me I shouldn't worry too much, unless the rails are rusted through, which they are not. Because the car is uni-body, but I'm quite anal about body stiffness. For example many JDM S13s don't even had a mid section frame rail, but north american ones do.
